Lyrics

Filth Pig

[Verse 1]

Well, I started out younger at things that people start younger at

And a thousand days and nights of getting overexposed

Then someone asks, "How do you sleep at night?"

With the borrowed dreams from a broken past

[Verse 2]

You keep running away don't matter how fast or long

You always wind up there

Another thousand pile-ups in the ugly name of morality

Fucking ugly, some creepy guy keeps asking

"How the fuck do you sleep at night?"

With a frozen dream and a borrowed hope that died

[Chorus]

Filth pig

Filth pig

Filth pig (I sleep with both eyes open)

Filth pig

Filth pig

Filth pig

[Verse 3]

I keep chasing this tail but the tail gets bigger go figure

A thousand more stories keep the fires and flames alive

So how the fuck do I dream at night?

With the memories of a borrowed death, the guilty past

[Chorus]

Filth pig

Filth pig

Filth pig (He sleeps with both eyes open)

Filth pig

Filth pig

Filth pig

Filth pig (He sleeps alright 'cause he's a)

Filth pig

Filth pig

Filth pig
